What's missing from my clutch release cylinder?

When my buddy and I changed my clutch out we apparently left something off of the clutch release cylinder. This "valve" is way too clean to not have something missing. Can someone post a picture of yours so I know what goes there? I'm unsure if there is just supposed to be a cap or if it is supposed to be "open" where air gets in or something like that.

The picture I'm including (if I do it right) is taken from the right side by the front wheel on a 1989 4Runner V6 3.0. I can find pictures of new ones by searching but not one actually on a vehicle. Thanks in advance!

Should have a rubber cap over it.

hey abe's back, they lift the ban?

And yea, lol it just had a cap over it. Thats the bleeder valve. You hook a hose onto that nipple and into a jar of brake fluid to bleed the clutch hydraulics.

you dont need to cap it, up to you.

Thanks guys. I'll cap it. I was afraid some water may get in there and mess up my transmission oil. I looked at the fluid tonight and it was pretty much chocolate-milk looking in the transfer case. I'll probably change it all tomorrow -- and find a cap for that thing!
